    The Catholic Church needs something to make it more “lively.” I grew up Catholic, and couldn’t bear the drudgery of mass. Black American churches know how to “celebrate,” though.-I don’t really give a crap, since they’re basically electing the Next Guy To Bork Up The Sex Scandal.

    The actual teachings and message of Christ more or less got lost when the Church organized and began pursuing power and wealth. Jesus was a poor man who preached to the poor and dispossessed. The pope lives in opulent palaces wearing silken robes. The Church spends millions upon millions of dollars maintaining said palaces and their extensive art collection while so many literally starve to death in Africa on a daily basis.

    It is (humorously) said that “God must have loved the poor people; He made so many of them.”So of course if you want to sell a new religion it must appeal to the “masses”.

    David is correct. Prior to European occupations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, indiginous peoples did quite well, with occassional natural disasters like doughts forcing them too move around to survive, quite well actually. Along came “agriculture”, and mostly Euorpean churches, and “new moralities” increased the cycles of death dramatically. What the churches didn’t do with slavery and disease, following ’the faith" led to tribal wars far more violent and brutal than any before those “nice” Euoropeans taught the natives how to get really brutal. BTW, eating your enemy on occassion still killed fewer people, and innocent bystanders than the wars taught with “modern methods”.
